Yep yep, the last year of the fifties starts today for yours truly, heavens!

Do I seem that old??

Sometimes I certainly feel it … but overall, not so much, not so much feeling, looking, acting like I remember thinking my parents were at 59 …

‘Course, generations always see things this way I suppose (said I, as I listen to 80’s band The Proclaimers (!) ),

But whatever, the years have passed, the experiences had so far, the history made thus, blessed beyond measure really, love everywhere I look mostly, in all forms, blessed to channel The Spirit, blessed to connect with so many,

Three kids who fill my life with love and wonder and learning and challenge and lessons and joy,

My folks now gone, thus the final chapter has begun, I can see the horizon more clearly now, closer now, want to slow things down, slow it ALL down … and live each day, each hour, soak up the good, not forsake for the grind,

Willing to continue the grind, but not forsake the good, choose the good now every EVERY day, after all,

We know not the day or hour when we will be called home,

I want to miss fewer moments until then, want to feel every moment I can, make it,

GOOD.
